The Ballyseedy Massacre (Part 2)
Notes de l’épisode
After committing one of the worst atrocities in the Irish Civil War, the State attempts to cover up its role in the massacre.
As “Terror Month” in Kerry continues, further atrocities are carried out with more prisoners blown up by landmines.
However, the man who gave the order at Ballyseedy, Paddy O'Daly, remains unrepentant, stating: “No one asked me to take my kid gloves to Kerry and I didn’t take them.”
Diarmaid and Catriona discuss the fall out from Ballyseedy, how the truth finally emerges, and why the Dáil record still contains the cover-up.
